COHEED AND CAMBRIA

Four albums in and the most baffling thing about post-emo's answer to prog-metal is that Coheed and Cambria haven't gone the way of Tangerine Dream or Yes, releasing a big ol' bloated double or even triple LP, which would be pretty easy considering the sheer volume of conceptual ideas they cram into everything.

Restraining themselves to one disc again, the band certainly doesn't disappoint. Tomorrow snakes and winds through sprawling rockers that always manage to remember how catchy hooks are just as important as guitar solos. The aggression is still there, now tempered with lighter numbers like Feathers, but the whole thing still reeks of comic nerd sci-fi awesomeness.
